Kennedy’s voice boomed. “If she dares to bully someone so openly in front of everyone, what kind of behaviour does she display in private?”
For the first time, Dakota was publicly scolded by someone, and it was none other than Kennedy, leaving her unable to retort. Her face flushed. with embarrassment.
Danny chimed in, “The Sullivan sisters are really something. If I had known, I wouldn’t have let Bella off so easily last time. Now that Grandpa is here, she’s really out of luck. Watch my grandpa scold her father as well.
Unbeknownst to Danny, Bella was standing right behind him. When she overheard Danny’s words, she glared at the back of his head.
It wasn’t her fault; she hadn’t been involved.
“What’s going on?” Maverik, Dakota’s father, approached after hearing the
commotion.
“What happened? Why are you so angry, Old Mr. Holmes? Calm down, please.” Maverik looked at Kennedy, then at his daughter.
Kennedy pointed his cane at Dakota and bellowed, “Is this your daughter? Ask her what she just did.”
Maverik turned to his daughter and asked, “Dakota, what’s going on?”
She had never received such a harsh reprimand from an outsider. She felt both angry and wronged. “I …
Dakota couldn’t get the words out.
Danny, always the good Samaritan, explained on her behalf, “Mr. Sullivan, she tried to pour wine on someone, got blocked, and ended up drenching. herself. She got furious and tried to hit the person, but my grandpa caught

Maverik recognised Isabelle standing beside Danny. He assumed it had something to do with the auction incident. Maverik knew his daughter’s temper well enough not to need an explanation of how the conflict arose.
Feeling both angry and disappointed, Maverik looked at his daughter and called out, “You…”
The guests around them were buzzing with discussion. Dakota wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She lowered her head, silently cursing Holmes and Isabelle.
“Apologise,” Maverik ordered.
Dakota couldn’t swallow her pride.
“I said, apologise,” Maverik repeated firmly.
“The young lady is lucky. Everyone knows old Mr. Holmes despises. bullying. She would have suffered severe bullying from Ms. Sullivan without his support.
The guests commented.
Just then, Magnus and James arrived with a large group. “Isabelle? What’s happening?”
Danny, seeing his opportunity, explained the situation again, making sure everyone could hear.
He saw Dakota’s embarrassment and almost wished he had a megaphone to ensure no one missed out.
Maverik hurriedly apologised to Magnus for the disturbance at his birthday party.
Magnus raised his hand to interrupt; his expression darkened, and he said, “Mr. Sullivan, you owe the apology to someone else.”

Magnus added, “Also, Isabelle is a guest of honour today. This girl is someone I took great effort to invite.”
The crowd was astonished. “A guest of honor? What’s her background?”
“Mr. Burton is highly respected. Even Mr. George would have to show his respect. How could this girl be more difficult to invite than Mr. George?” someone speculated.
Danny looked at Isabelle and commented, “Guest of honor? Are top students that valuable now? Just because she can solve math problems?”
Maverik glanced at Isabelle.
Dakota couldn’t believe that this poor girl, who travelled by taxi and scammed people, was actually a guest of honour for Magnus.
At this moment, another person entered the hall.
Under her father’s stern command, Dakota reluctantly apologised to
Isabelle.
Feeling utterly humiliated, Dakota ran out of the hall as soon as she finished.
“Your daughter is so immature. Even if there is a personal grudge, she should consider the occasion and the company in attendance. She relied on her family’s influence to behave so poorly.”
As expected, Kennedy also scolded Maverik.
Danny was enjoying the scene until his grandfather’s reprimand extended to him. “I can’t stand these spoiled kids,” Kennedy continued.
Danny immediately stopped smiling and straightened up.
